Ad for o.b. menstrual tampon, France, 1989
The Saatchi & Saatchi agency, with headquarters in London, created
this great ad for o.b. tampons, which appeared in December 1989.
The top part says,"The tampon adopted by the majority of women
in Europe." The French, as well as many other Europeans, write large
numbers with "." marking off the thousands, rather than the ","
used in America. Thus the word "o.b." is altered to indicate a
very large number. Clever, no?
Do you know what o.b. means? Ha, that's what YOU think! See German and Dutch ads for variations
on the truth.
